When all is said and done, the heart of your anger is that women might be "secretly publicizing" (your exact words, lol) things about men - sometimes about "their looks", and sometimes about the threat of assault and rape.

That's more than silly. It's dangerous for our sisters and mothers, and an attack on free speech.

I sincerely hope you can recognize that the threat of rape and assault rather outweighs the threat of people saying mean and untrue things about you behind our back. If not, well, then you might be the type of person that forum was made to talk about.

My "heart of my anger" is that this platform actively encourages the likes of JK Rowling to doxx, slander, and harass people. You know, the self-proclaimed advocate for women's safety who nowadays literally refers to transgender women as male sexual predators. The same person who insistently spreads a lie about a cis woman Olympian boxer being a violent man gleefully punching women and stealing medals. Things like this severely harm many innocent people, women included. It disproportionately affects marginalized people the most. It will eventually result in deaths if it hasn't already. Yet the platform is egging such harassers on for profit. Despite you championing it as the true alternative to the justice system, it openly spits on the notion of justice and the rule of law.

But even if what you wrote actually was the core of my argument, which we both know is not, that's also a valid concern as well. If I ever saw a post on social media non-consensually posting photos and personal information of people of any gender, with strangers critiquing their looks and asking about their whereabouts, I'd flag that without a second thought. It speaks volumes about your sense of ethics that you'd mock me for this.

Last but not least, you are again cherry picking and misrepresenting what I've said, after being called out for it multiple times. You resort to diversions and lies instead of making an honest argument because you know what you're advocating for is morally questionable.

What an interesting lie.

You see women encouraged to protect each other, and 'women' gets autotranslated in your brain into "JK Rowling". 'Protect each other' gets transformed into "doxx, slander and harass people". Fascinating.

I'm sure that even though I'm directly quoting you this will be accused of misreading your arguments again, and that's fascinating too, but I'm tired cap. I'm tired.

There is PR fluff, and there is reality. There is a reason that democracies have created the justice system and this notion called the rule of law. There is a reason we don't rely on "the market" to handle such issues. No, Tea isn't the sole exception in a world of greedy investors. There is a reason Tea is basing the whole platform around gossip. There is a reason Tea brands this as "safety" despite it imposing no restriction on users to keep the topic solely about safety. They are simply not what they claim to be.
